Families looking to delve into the thrill rides of local amusement parks might head for Six Flags Over Georgia, or Six Flags White Water Atlanta.

In 1836, its founder, Nelson Tift, had hoped the Flint River settlement's location would make an ideal trade center, such as that in Albany, New York; however, in the mid-1800s, the town instead grew to incorporate many of the cotton plantations in the area and, by the turn of the century, had developed into a railway center - bringing an alternate industry and commerce to the region. Today, Union Station serves at the home of the Thronateeska Heritage Center, and Albany boasts an active arts community, along with strong economic growth, as witnessed by the Albany Tomorrow project that is presently developing the riverfront as a major cultural district for the area. For alternate leisure activities, there are many golf courses in the area where you can tee off, or visit natural conservancies such as the animal parks and nature trails. If you are inclined toward fine arts and architecture, visit the preserved former working residence of Pebble Hill Plantation, or enjoy the Albany Symphony. Experience times past through the artifacts of the original Native American population at local festivals and educational centers, and review important Civil Rights moments at the historic Mt. Zion Church museum.

buyers to what was then the remote western edge of Broward County in
southeast Florida. The City is situated approximately six miles west
of Fort Lauderdale, and is adjoined by the communities of Weston,

real growth. More than 25 million visitors flock to the area each
year to experience nearby Sawgrass Mills Mall, the state's
second-most popular tourist attraction after Walt Disney World.
Sunrise's appeal is enhanced by its convenient, accessible location
in the heart of the tri-county area. The City offers a wide variety
of recreational opportunities, including a soccer club, golf course,
a tennis club, playgrounds and municipal swimming pools - as well as
a Senior Center and a Civic Center complex featuring a 300-seat
theater, an art gallery and banquet facilities. Sunrise is also home
to ten public schools, two post offices and two public libraries.
